There is nothing particularly outstanding in the specs. The main selling point at this point is the price.

Features

The AT114 has a center column and multi angle leg settings.

Use

There are no handling issues with this tripod. The leg locks are nice and grippy as we have come to expect from Induro. The 3/8″ bolt that the head screws onto locks onto the tripod with a nut. If this is loose, it can be difficult to screw the head on. Once the head is on though, there are no problems.

Build Quality

The build quality is solid. Definitely a step above what we expect from tripods at this price point.

Test Results

The full test data can be found here. The table below summarizes the results.

Stiffness About Vertical Axis

237 +/- 1 Nm/rad

Damping About Vertical Axis

0.096 +/- 0.01 Js/rad

Stiffness About Radial Axis

838 +/- 3 Nm/rad

Damping About Radial Axis

0.191 +/- 0.019 Js/rad

These stiffness results are pretty poor for a tripod of this weight. The very small bottom leg sections are the clear culprit.

Summary

Pros

Good Build Quality

Cheap

Cons

Poor Stiffness

If you need a cheap tripod with good build quality to support small pieces of gear, this could be a good tripod for you.
